ARRESTED FOR ABORTION.
Serious Charge Against n Local metho-
dist Minister.

PHILADELPHIA, June 60 Rev. DIR. Thom-
as b. Miller, local Methodist preacher,
was arrested to-day on the charge of per-
forming a criminal operation on Mrs Sarah
Ellen Robinson. To-day her friends be-
came alarmed at her condition and called
in another doctor, who found she was suf-
fering from peritonitis, and she finally
confessed to him that DR.. Miller
bad performed an operation upon her.
Miller was then arrested and taken before
the woman, when she fully identified him.
Her condition is very critical, and her
ante-mortem statement was taken this
evening in which she charged Miller with
the crime. The prisoner has figured in
several similar cases before, but has always
escaped conviction. He gained consider
able notoriety some six years ago as dean
of the bogus medical college run by DR..
Buchanan, but did not share the conviction
and imprisonment OF the principal of the
concern. He is about seventy years old.

retaining it from May until June %, thur
debarring him from answering communi.
cations from the Postoffice Department
relative to his accounts during the first
quarter OF the current year, and thereby
bringing him into disrepute with the de-
partment officials, besides depriving him of
an amount due him from the department.
Postmaster Price is out of town, and his
answer to the charges can not be learned.
HIS subordinates say that Mr.. Carson's
letters were overlooked and that there was
nothing intentional in it. Mr.. Carson says
he thinks 1t very strange that his letters
should be placed in his possession the day
after the limit allowed by the Postofice
Department had expired and not before.

High Toned Philadelphians in Very
Unpleasant Boxes.
Joseph c. Knight, a book-keeper in the Man
facturers' National Bank, was arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Edmunds,
charged with embezzling $65, 600 Of the funds
Of the Bank. President Motley, of the Bank
discovered the defalcation on December 9th.
and since that time the accused has been in,
the custody of the United States Marshal,
though it only leaked out to-day. Knight
has been in the employ of the Bank for q
quarter of century,
President Motley testified that upon the
second day after the discovery Knight con-
fessed to him that he ha been stealing from
the institution for % years. He declared
that he had not stolen as much money during
recent years as formally and that during the
past year he took only $3.50.
HOW HE WORKED IT.
Knight told the President that he managed
to cover up his tracks in this way: When
there was long line Of depositors some Of
them did not desire to wait for their books
They would deliver the books to him and
ask him to enter thereon record of their
deposits at his leisure He would enter these
amounts properly and correctly upon
his own ledger, but he failed to record
the entry with the receiving teller. Knight
placed his stealings at $60, ,0O0, but an exarni-
nation of the books shows that he had stolen
900. The bank has received about $1O,-
900 from the embezzler. The prisoner was
placed under s35 900 bail, but he did not fur
nish the required security and was handed
over to the United Stltes Marshal.
Knight received salary of $1,4O0 per
annum. He lived extrayagantly, but his
wife's relations were thought to be rich.
Several times he was offered better positions
in the bank, but he refused them, saying
he was familiar with the duties of that

A PAuPEn,s CONFESSION.
The Son of Murdered ASau Finds 9
CIew TO the Assassins


CIew TO the Assassins
A murder mystery has just bean solved BY
the statement Of an inmate OF the Almshouss
at Albany, n Y.
John Walker, who kept a canal barn near
Cohocs, left his home in June last with CON
siderable money to buy horss at West
Troy. Being thrifty man he took canal
boat to that place with his team In the
evening be was seen in a saloc1 at the side
cut, and was said to have starred for home
at a late hour perfectly sober.
The next day his horses strayed up the tow
path n the barn, and search was at once be-
gun for Walker, as foul play was suspected.
Several days later his dead body was found
floating in the csnal, his forehead crushed in,
his head and arms covered with wounds and
his. body slashed as with knife. That he
had been murdered and robbed was plainly
evident The police sought vainly for clew
to the perpetrators of the deed, but without
the slightest success and soon gave It up.
Not so with the son of the murdered man,
who is an officer at Whitehall. In his search
lOf NeuBodnce ne leaTneu OF u man VINO knew
the particulars of the murder and finally
traced him to the Almshouse, of the county.
The man is Thomas Kelley and his story re-
wives the sensation which the murder origin
ally caused Kelly says that while working
at odd jobs around the vicinity of the murder
he got acquainted with two canalers who
were either brothers or half-brothers. He
only knew them as Joe and Jim. Shortly be-
fore the murder these men made trade with
Walker for horse.
About week after the murtler, according to
Kellys story, Joe got drunk and in fit of
confidence said he had Drained Walker with a
whihietree, but only got $50 on him. Kelly
also says that while talking they went into a
canal store and the keeper warned Joe not to
give himself away any further.
The son OF the murdered man says he has
identified Joe aud Jim as two hard characters
and will run them down if it costs his life.
Both have disappeared. Kelly's excuse for
not telling his secret sooner is that he was
afraid of getting into trouble, and that no one
would thank him anyway.
